You just have to drag songs in and out of the iPod as if it were a playlist Sorry, but no. Before you buy the iPod make certain you understand that Apple, under direction of law, had made it difficult to move songs off of the iPod back to a computer. There are several third party apps that...

I would recommend the app Podworks and the script "iPod Playlist Cloner". Both are available at VersionTracker. Keep a copy of them on the iPod. If you get a chance back up your library to DVDs or Tapes (app DV Backup). This will leave your HD space free. I never did the auto sync option. The...
